Information Science and Management
researchers provide the technological expertise to support the
broad approach necessary to address Florida's complex fish-,
wildlife-, and habitat-related issues.
Information Science and Management
The Information Science and Management (IS&M) section
produces, analyzes and manages scientific data and information used
by federal, state and local governments and the public to aid in
the conservation of fish and wildlife. This section employs
techniques that include computer mapping of habitats, ensuring the
statistical validity of research, electronic sharing and delivery
of research findings, high-quality document production and Internet
applications that promote the sharing of information between
scientists and stakeholders. IS&M staff also provide
data-management services, economic assessments and scientific
library services.
Center for Biostatistics and Modeling
Researchers provide biostatistics consulting support, develop
study designs and statistical analysis plans, carry out
quantitative analyses of scientific data, and produce user-friendly
software tools for performing statistical analysis and modeling
procedures.
Center for Spatial Analysis
Researchers map habitats and use analytical computer mapping and
data analysis techniques to create, in various formats, summaries
of information needed by natural resource managers.
Information Access
Program staff members maintain the Research Information Center
(Library), Publications Production Office, and Specimen Information
Services and develop database management strategies to ensure
access to FWRI data.
Socioeconomic Assessment
Socioeconomic Assessment Researchers conduct quantitative economic
research studies in support of FWC's efforts to conserve Florida's
fish and wildlife resources.
